Through the millions of years there have been several Ice Ages on Earth. The last one began to finish earlier than 12,000 years ago, thus around 10,000 BC, so you could generalise and say it was well on the way to finishing before 10,000 BC. Since then there have been a couple of mini-Ice Ages, but not with ice sheets covering half of Europe and America.

∙ 11y agoThe most recent glaciation is considered to have ended about 10,000 years ago, but this was only part of a long ice age which started about 2.6 million years ago. We are now in a warm interglacial period, between glaciations.

When was the most recent ice age in the north America?
The most recent North American maximum glaciation period was about 20,000 years ago, and ended between 11,500 and 14,000 years ago (as marked by increases in sea levels). However, glaciers still exist in cold regions of the continent. *The beginning of the Holocene has a radiometric (carbon-14) date of about 10,000 years ago.
What was the most recent ice age in north America?
It carved the mountains and valleys and rivers and many lakes. The ice made most of the topography that exists today. Erosion gradually lessens the effect of the ice carving the land. It also killed most of the life here.

Not really. The most recent glaciation ended in the Eurasian and the North American continents about 10,000 - 12,000 years ago, but that was just one of many glaciations during the present ice age which started about 2,6 million years ago. We are now living in a relatively warm interglacial period.
